15·7 days agoLet me introduce: Association of German National Jews
(Spoiler: they got their faces eaten in 1935)
Same funny design
After some research I found the source of the image. It is Iliannet Abella with her sister, posing on a beached ship near Miami.
On May 29, 2019, Cuban model Iliannet Abella posted a snapshot that went viral.
It shows her and her sister in bikinis on a yacht off the coast of Miami. So far, so good. But the yacht is sinking. The image has been copied, shared, and altered thousands of times, as a meme or a political message.

Yes I found this from 7 years ago:
This has been posted before the boat was wrecked awhile before this picture and people would go out and hang around and pose with the boat. I can’t remember if it’s still out there. I think it was when it was last posted but they said it was scheduled to be removed or something like that.

22·8 days agoThe SPE is a bad, almost unscientific example for nearly anything.
In 2007, Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland argued that the experiment suffers from selection bias, as the recruiting posters for SPE specifically advertised participation in a study about prison life. Carnahan and McFarland argued that those who applied to participate with the SPE thus likely already had traits associated with abusiveness, aggression, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, social dominance orientation, and narcissism. Further, low dispositional empathy and altruism would also be indicators of someone who would volunteer.
In 2020, Dutch historian Rutger Bregman claimed the experiment to be dubious. He states that the guards were urged to act aggressively towards the prisoners. In his book Humankind: A Hopeful History, he is of the opinion that in similar experiments, researchers intentionally created hostility between groups and then interpreted the findings to suit their needs.

Sind sonst Sonntags keine Radfahrer in München anzutreffen?

Das München, in dem es ohne besondere Situationen wie die Sternfahrt keine übermäßige MIV-Belastung gibt, oder wie ist das gemeint?

Also wenn ich den t-onlie Artikel so lese, zeichnet sich da ein etwas anderes Bild als ich erst erwartet hatte:
Senatorin: Aussage stellt Menschen unter Generalverdacht
Das Bremer Sozialressort wies Göckens Darstellung zurück. “Die Behauptung, 30 bis 40 Prozent der Leistungsbeziehenden würden Sozialleistungen missbräuchlich beziehen, entbehrt jeder belastbaren Grundlage”, sagte Bremens Arbeitssenatorin Claudia Schilling (SPD).
Schilling kritisierte Göcken scharf: “Solche pauschalen Aussagen verzerren die Realität, beschädigen das Vertrauen in den Sozialstaat und stellen Hunderttausende Menschen bundesweit unter Generalverdacht, die Leistungen rechtmäßig beziehen.”
Das Bremer Sozialressort verwies zudem darauf, dass Göcken bereits seit längerer Zeit in einer arbeitsrechtlichen Auseinandersetzung mit seinem Arbeitgeber stehe. Göcken bestätigte, dass es eine solche Auseinandersetzung gegeben habe.
Der werte Herr Göcken scheint ja schön nach unten zu treten
Doch was ist das? ANGIE M. MIT EINEM KLAPPSTUHL??
22·14 days agoUnfortunately something similar¹ happened in Germany as well (2024):
¹ similar in the sense of “cycling activist was killed by car-brain”
Starting in 2011, Andreas Mandalka wrote on his blog under the pseudonym Natenom […] about the dangers cyclists face from motorists, particularly in the area around the city of Pforzheim. According to his own account, he often cycled between 50 and 80 kilometers a day. His reports focused on unsecured bike paths, motor vehicles failing to maintain a safe distance when passing cyclists, as well as the inaction of authorities and the lack of prosecution when such violations were reported.
Mandalka was killed in a traffic accident on the evening of January 30, 2024, on State Road L 574 between Neuhausen and Schellbronn. In the dark and on a wet road, a 77-year-old man struck Mandalka from behind with his car while he was riding his bicycle; Mandalka was wearing a helmet and a safety vest at the time of the accident. Mandalka died at the scene of the accident. He was 43 years old.
For years, Mandalka had documented the dangers of the state highway [L 574] on his blog.

Wobei ich solche Geschichten immer mit Vorsicht genießen würde. Da wird auch gern mal eine dritte Partei als Sündenbock hergenommen. Auch gern verwendet: wegen UmWeLtScHuTz hat Projekt XY so viel länger gedauert und so viel mehr gekostet und deswegen konnte man ja auch Wunsch Z nicht umsetzen. Das es auch vorher schon nicht ins Budget gepasst hätte, die ausführende Firma geschlampt hat oder die Ausschreibung massiv fehlerhaft war kann man dann schön auf die Fledermäuse oder wen auch immer schieben.
Also nicht, dass ich dir nicht glaube, aber solche Geschichten haben meistens mehr Aspekte als am Stammtisch erzählt wird.
Fußnote: es sei denn, es war ein Fahrrad. Die sind nie autonom sondern es ist immer ein Fahrradfahrer, der keinen Helm trug (der den Radler bestimmt vor dem abbiegenden LKW bewahrt hätte!!!)
63·29 days agoDude, this is a false dichotomy. Both are not mutually exclusive.
Wow this could have actually happened:
Previously, Messi claimed he was too nervous to answer questions in English, despite taking language lessons since 2020, as per an interview with journalist Guillem Balague. “I’ve been learning English for a year and a half. I understand it, but I don’t speak it,” he said in 2021.
